Rise of the Wasteland

Chapter 1385: Hesitation

At night, Giles still works at his desk. He has almost endless things at hand. Various documents and accounts need to be reviewed and approved, and he also needs to meet with middle and low-level leaders from various work projects. But although he can only sleep for a few hours a day, he never tires of it.

It has been more than ten years since graduating from an American university, and Giles has never felt as fulfilled as he is now. He was also excited after the cataclysm, feeling that in a chaotic world, there should always be a chance for him to change the world and show his talents.

But the funny thing is that no one needs Gilris' talent. All he can do is to pretend to be patrolling around, write reports and hand them in, and then disappear. Their family patriarch has become a zombie president, and he also hopes that the patriarch who has become extremely calm can change everything.

But the reality is that hundreds of people in the family control the power, and the president's decrees cannot leave his office. Everyone knows that managing the country well can gain greater benefits, but when they are asked to delegate power to give up part of the benefits, none of the family dignitaries agree.

Just when Giles was disheartened, he came to Merida under the name of inspection. This is a remote ruling area, and the entire Yucatan Peninsula is poor. The population here is small, the infrastructure is not perfect, and there is almost nothing there. But in such a place, a miracle happened.

The bottom of Mexico in Merida is willing to work hard, and they produce a large amount of living materials, which are exchanged for more scarce commodities through commerce and trade. The officials in Merida are relatively clean and capable, and they are much better than those guys in Mexico City who can only fight and kill.

Ji Ruisi is very satisfied with his current job. He started from managing the logistics of the mixed first division, and soon took over the public affairs in the city. More than a dozen of his entourage turned into municipal administrators in Merida, busy every day.

All this is given by Alfonso. Giles couldn't think of anyone else in the family who would be willing to delegate power in this way. Don't look at him being regarded as the heir to the president in the family, but in fact no one takes it seriously at all. Because he has no fundamentals of strength at all, and he doesn't even have many subordinates.

Giris was terrified of the assassination that Alfonso encountered during the day. He has seen a lot of simple and brutal killings, and there is not much intrigue among gangsters. Everyone is very straightforward in doing things, and they will kill people if they are not happy.

It's just that for Alfonso, Giris has a complicated and inexplicable feeling-this man is covered with a layer of playboy skin, but in his bones he is not at all like a member of the Diego family, not even a Mexican.

Ugh…….

After a busy night, Giles rubbed his dry eyes. He wanted to open the window to let in the air, but the window was drawn with thick curtains to block the light from the room.

From time to time, there were bursts of gunshots outside the window, rattling non-stop. The whole city is like this. The security forces have sealed off the entire Merida, hunting for suspects suspected of assassinating the Governor.

What surprised Gilris the most was that almost everyone in the city cooperated with the search and arrest operation, and everyone took the initiative to report the suspects. The security forces also showed extremely high efficiency, and they were merciless in arresting them.

Merida is now a commercial city, and people from other places are indispensable in the city. Recently, among these outsiders, people with malicious intentions are indispensable, and it is the nature of these people to resist. They always feel that they are very powerful, and never take the police seriously.

But Merida is different from any other Mexican city. The military and police here are trained to be ruthless, and their sense of responsibility and sacrifice is impressive.

Giles didn't understand what was going on? He kept receiving reports from the security forces that there was an exchange of fire in a certain place, how many suspects were killed, and how many people from our side were sacrificed—if this was in other cities, the suspects would often escape without any casualties on our side .

With constant sighs and many doubts, Giles wanted to take a rest. But before he even touched the bed, someone screamed outside, "Who?"

It was the entourage of Giris who cried,

A moment later, the door of Giles' office opened, and the panicked Merida Gendarmerie Captain Lula stumbled in. There were two or three people behind Lula, some of whom were even injured.

"Mr. Giles, please protect me." Lula ran to Giles, almost fell to the ground, "Alfonso betrayed the family, I have evidence that he colluded with the Aurora Legion. You must believe me, He's trying to kill me now."

Giles had met Lula once before, and the two talked for a while. He also thought about whether to win over this person, but after a simple investigation, he found out that this guy has a very bad reputation in Merida. Alfonso used to deal with him severely, but later he didn't know why he wasn't completely eradicated.

Now it seems that Lula did not get the reuse he wanted from Jiris, and he turned around and fell into the arms of other dignitaries. Sure enough, Lula said next, "Mr. Giles, the people behind me are all from Commander Suzano. Commander Suzano also asks you to help."

Hearing the name Suzano, Girris suddenly felt his scalp go numb. He is also a 'commander', his title is false, and Suzano, who controls the entire Mexican government army, is the one who can really give orders.

Suzano was originally the person in charge of violent punishment and secret assassination in the family. He is not only ruthless, but also good at bribery and temptation. The opponents of many families were unknowingly bribed by their cronies, and died inexplicably.

Giles felt that if he did not agree, he would be regarded as an enemy by Suzano immediately. He was a truly unscrupulous person, he would kill anyone who stood in his way, and the methods were extremely cruel.

Giles felt that he couldn't refuse Lula's request, because even he wasn't sure if there was anyone around him who was bribed by Suzano. If he didn't agree, he might die soon.

"I..." Gilris was forced to be helpless, opened his mouth and said, "Okay, you can stay. I'll ask someone to arrange a place for you."

Lula and the others were immediately overjoyed. In their opinion, Giris was the only person in the city who could compete with Governor Alfonso. Now that the whole city is sealed off and people from the Governor's Mansion are everywhere, it is always a little safer to hide under the wings of Ji Ruisi.

Asking his subordinates to take Lula and others down, Giles sat down on the chair behind his desk again, his mind a little confused. Being not good at making decisions, he was a bit unable to judge whether the decision he had just made was correct or not. He scratched his head in distress, regretting it a little.

Jingle bell, the phone on the desk rang.

The guilty Jiris was startled, and after a while, he picked up the microphone, "Hi, I'm Jiris."

"I'm Alfonso." His Excellency the Governor's voice came from the microphone, and he asked straightforwardly, "Where is Lula from the gendarmerie? Who was involved in the assassination of me? My men are arresting me everywhere." he."

This question made Gilris's mind froze, and he didn't know what to say...
